Directions
Take Route 15 South to Dillsburg. Just past the "84 Lumber Company", take a right on South Mountain Road. Proceed on this road for 4.4 miles. You will pass a church on the left and must then bear right onto Coffeetown Road. Travel 1 mile. You will proceed two driveways beyond the Dillsburg Fish and Game Club and turn right onto a gravel lane marked by red posts. The gateway to Camp Pioneer will be just around the bend. If you reach Whiskey Spring Road, you have missed the gravel lane and have gone too far.
